Chapter 2 Rebirth at the end of the Han Dynasty
In 173 AD, the second year of Xiping, Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, three men, one old, one middle and one young men stood side by side in the yard in the magistrate's mansion of Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, and three men stood side by side in the yard, looking at the closed door of the bedroom with nervous expressions on their faces.
It was evening, and the sunset was about to set, and several red and blood-like fire clouds were lingering in the sky. The old man accidentally looked up at the sky and suddenly found that the fire clouds originally lingering in the sky had changed and gathered above his courtyard at a speed visible to the naked eye. The old man said in surprise to the middle-aged and young people beside him: "Boan, He'er, look at the sky."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man named Bo'an and the young man raised his head and looked into the sky. He saw the burning clouds that gathered quickly were trapped above his courtyard, and then began to change various shapes. Finally, they turned into a mighty dragon shape, with the dragon's head looking up to the sky, the dragon's tail pointing straight to the sky, and a dragon's claw pointed straight to his bedroom. The three old and young people were surprised and looked at each other, but no one could speak.
At this moment, a loud cry of baby came from the bedroom, breaking the tranquility in the courtyard. At the same time, the strange phenomena in the sky dissipated, as if the shocking scene had never happened. Soon after, a midwife with sweat on her head opened the door and walked out, saying to the middle-aged man with joy on her face: "Congratulations to the county magistrate, the wife successfully gave birth to a young son, and the mother and son were safe."
The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, okay, you go to the housekeeper to receive the reward later." The midwife smiled and shook her head and said: "The county magistrate loves the people as much as his son. Let us ordinary people live a good life. It is appropriate to do something for the adults. What else should we talk about rewards?" After that, he turned around and walked into the bedroom without caring about the rest.
"Father," a crisp childish voice broke the temporary calmness. The young man ran to the middle-aged man happily, pulling the middle-aged man's sleeves, shaking, and continuing, "I have a younger brother, I have a younger brother!" The middle-aged man looked down at the young man who was shaking his sleeves. He couldn't help but raise his lips, his eyes were full of love, but he said, "He'er, you are a relative of the Han Dynasty and should have the style of a royal family. How could you cheer and lose your ethics?" The young man let go of his hand and replied in a low voice: "No, my child knows it, remember his father's teachings."
"Okay, Bo'an, you are good at everything. That's it. You obviously love He'er very much, but you want to pretend to be a strict father." The old man walked over with a smile and interrupted. The middle-aged man said seriously: "I, Liu Yu, is a relative of the Han Dynasty. He takes it as his responsibility to support the Han Dynasty and benefit the people. If you can't even teach your own son well, what's wrong..." "Okay, okay," the old man waved his hand and interrupted Liu Yu's words, "I know your ambitions, but according to my observation, this great man is afraid that the world will change. The relatives and eunuchs are fighting endlessly, and loyal ministers are hiding in the mountains. Your ambitions are heavy and have a long way to go. Well, if you don't talk about these things today, should you promise me your promise to me now?"
Liu Yu's face was bitter and he responded with a careful word: "My father-in-law, look, the strange phenomenon appeared in heaven just now, which was shocking. It was clearly coming to the youngest son who had just born. I believe this son will be able to make a career for the Han Dynasty in the future. Do you think he will discuss it again in the future?" The old man immediately became ashamed of his face: "Liu Yu! I have no children, and only one daughter married you as a wife. You put the high official and generous salary left by Zu Yin. Starting from a minor official, I have no complaints. I only proposed to choose one of you and my daughter's children in the future to inherit my husband's foundation. You agreed. Now that I see visions everywhere, my daughter's youngest son's future is limitless, but you have to regret it?"
It turned out that Liu Yu was a royal family member of the Han Dynasty. When he was young, he gave up inheriting his father's fief and came to Bingzhou alone. He started as a minor official and used his father-in-law's support and subsidies. The father-in-law had no son, so he discussed with Liu Yu that he would choose one of his sons in the future to inherit his father-in-law's family business, that is, let the newly born young son follow his mother's surname and change it to Ao.
Liu Yu said in embarrassment: "My father-in-law, why don't you do this? Will you let him inherit your family business when the next child is born?" The old man surnamed Ao angrily rebuked: "It's nonsense. I'm 68 years old this year. Can you wait until your next child is born? Don't say too much. I've already thought about it. The child who has just been born is about to be born. The surname Ao and his name is Lie. I'm the next head of the Ao family." Liu Yu saw that his father-in-law was angry, and he quickly responded: "Okay, just call him Ao Lie, but he's up to his father-in-law." The old man surnamed Ao nodded with satisfaction and said: "One and one lie, one quiet and one movement, one literature and one martial arts. In the future, let He'er learn literature and let Lie'er perform martial arts, it's wonderful, it's wonderful!" After saying that, he laughed to the sky.
***************************
In the bedroom of the county magistrate's mansion, Liu Yu looked at his wife Ao Xue's pale face with mercy and said gently, "Madam, thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Ao gently pushed the newly born baby boy around her in the direction of Liu Yu, and said softly, "Husband, look, this is our youngest son, please give me a name." Liu Yu looked down at the youngest son in Mrs. Ao's arms. Although the child was still in his infancy, for some reason, Liu Yu could really feel a deep and sharp look on the child's body.
With a restrained breath, Liu Yu turned to look at his wife, with a wry smile on his lips: "No need to think about it, my father-in-law has already given the child a name, Ao Lie, as your surname." "Haha." A vague laughter interrupted the conversation between the couple. The two hurriedly lowered their heads and looked at the young son. They saw that the young son opened his mouth in surprise. While smiling vaguely, they tried hard to shake the two little hands together. Looking at the appearance, it seemed like they were about to applaud and welcome him.
Mrs. Ao couldn't help but chuckled, stretched out her hand and tucked the quilt that had spread a little, and then said to Liu Yu: "Did you see it? The child seems to like this name very much." Liu Yu nodded helplessly, as if he had accepted his fate: "Okay, if he likes it, just call this name. Anyway, I can't help but laugh." Mrs. Ao couldn't help laughing and said angrily: "What? Isn't it good to take my surname?" Liu Yu shook his head and said reluctantly: "It's nothing wrong, it's just..."
Mrs. Ao stretched out her jade hand, put it on the back of Liu Yu's hand, and whispered: "Husband, don't bother, think about it carefully, no matter whose surname this child takes, it is all your blood and blood, right? You are still the father of the child, and this will never be changed. It is a fact." Liu Yu lowered his head and thought about it seriously for a while, then Zhan Yan smiled and said: "What the lady said is not bad, it's because I'm thinking too much. Could it be that I'm still afraid that this little thing will not call me dad in the future?"
In this way, Ao Lie, who was an ancient martial arts fan and an adventure fan in the 21st century, came to the Eastern Han Dynasty by chance and became Liu Yu's second son. He even took his mother's surname by chance, and was still called Ao Lie!
Time flies, and time passes. Eight years later, time comes to Guanghe. Liu Yu has been promoted to the prefect of Jiuyuan County because of his outstanding political achievements.
The summer afternoon sun shines down, making people unable to raise their strength. However, in the backyard of the county magistrate's mansion, there is a burly boy practicing swordsmanship tirelessly. Between attack and defense, it is natural, and the sword is like flowing clouds and water, without any stagnation. It can be seen that this boy has worked hard in immersed in swordsmanship. This is Ao Lie who traveled through time. In his previous life, he was an ancient martial arts practitioner with outstanding martial arts skills. After being reborn,
After a brief entanglement, he quickly threw away all the past and quickly integrated into his new life. A good man should carry a three-foot sword and establish a fame that is unparalleled. Isn’t this what he pursued in his previous life? Now he has the opportunity to come to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and to this era of wars and heroes fighting for hegemony, how can he let God down? The Five Barbarians invade China? With Ao Lie’s rebirth, the disaster that caused the children of Han to suffer will surely be eliminated!
Since his rebirth, Ao Lie has been practicing the unique skills he learned in Wudang Mountain every day, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and heat. He practiced Wudang's peerless mind method Wuji Nine Yang Kung Fu during the morning and night; practiced Tai Chi sword and Tai Chi gun during the day; in the evening, he used various methods and herbs to suck strength and strengthen his muscles and bones. Combined with his experience in his previous life, and with eight years of hard practice, Ao Lie's martial arts, swordsmanship and gun skills have become his own school. Although he is still far from the level of a master, he is also
It can be said that he has entered the house. What surprised Ao Lie was the change in his body. I don’t know why, since he was reborn, he felt that his strength was several times greater than his previous life. Then, after various training methods in the 21st century and the cultivation of various rare herbs in this life, he stimulated potential energy to the greatest extent. Ao Lie felt that he could easily kill a cow with one punch. This was impossible in the past.
After practicing swordsmanship, Ao Lie put away the long sword in his hand. As soon as he wiped his sweat with a towel, he heard footsteps sounding from far to near. Needless to ask, it must be Mrs. Ao, who is familiar with his habits, who has brought him tea. In the past few years, whenever he practiced, Mrs. Ao would seize his short rest time and bring him tea with him cooked by himself or honey water. Sometimes his father Liu Yu, elder brother Liu He and grandfather Ao would also follow him. This made Ao Lie, who was reborn, experience the warmth of family affection more and more deeply. As an orphan in his previous life, he could only feel a little such warmth in his dreams.
